摘要
A basic tenet of ecological economics is that economic growth and development are ultimately constrained by environmental carrying capacities It is from this basis that notions of a sustainable economy and of sustainable economic development emerge to undergird the standard model of ecological economics However the belief in hard environmental constraints may be obscuring the important role of the entrepreneur in the co evolution of economic and environmental relations and hence limiting or distorting the analytic focus of ecological economics and the range of policy options that are considered for sustainable economic development This paper outlines a co-evolutionary model of the dynamics of economic and ecological systems as connected by entrepreneurial behaviour We then discuss some of the key analytic and policy implications (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
